Daydream Flowers By Eileen Hoheisel

Here is a quilt I designed, pieced and quilted. The blocks are 4 large flowers, 2 per WOF. It has a sashing and mitered border. The border I did by sewing the narrow black border to the striped outer border, and then attaching to the quilt. I did outline stitching around the flowers, stitched following the lines inside the flowers, and the lines in the background. You can read more about it on my blog, in August and September.

The basic idea came from Cortney at Gruber’s Quilt Shop. She gave me a sketch and I used EQ7 to go from there to the finished product.

How to export an image of your virtual quilt from EQ

With your quilt displayed on the Quilt Worktable:

Click FILE > Export Image. The Export Image dialog displays.

In this dialog you’ll select the folder location for saving the file, give the file a name. You should name your photo file using this sequence: First letter of your first name, your full last name, underscore, EQQuilt. For example Jane Doe would name her quilt, “JDoe_EQQuilt”.

Click the down-pointing arrow for file type selections. Files can be saved jpeg.

The next dialog lets you specify the size of the image and other options depending on the file type that has been selected. You should choose 150 dpi and a width of 8”.

When taking a photo of your finished quilt, you should follow these guidelines or we may not be able to display your quilt in the gallery.

The quilt must be hanging vertically straight.

Take the photo straight on (the quilt should not be on an angle).

The image file should be larger than 600 pixels. If you send us the original photo without any editing, that file should suffice.

Do not crop out the background.

Do not cut off the borders or binding in the picture.

You should name your photo file using this sequence: First letter of your first name, your full last name, underscore, FinishedQuilt. For example Jane Doe would name her quilt, “JDoe_FinishedQuilt”.
